I got my first horse a few months ago. He is stabled 24/7 and I love him to bits but there is something which he does which I don't understand and I wondered if anyone on here with more experience could enlighten me! Basically, when I lead him from his stable across the yard he is usually fairly quiet but whenever he sees or hears another horse which is not from "his yard" he starts to prance around, his tail goes up in the air like a banner and he snorts loudly. He gets quite strong but I can still hold him but I wondered why he does it. He also does it sometimes when I have ridden him in the school and I lead him out if there are horses turned out in the field nearby. I just want to understand more about horses in general and him in particular so sorry if it is a silly question!
